...unexpected, to say the least. Apprehension lest the Freshmen scuff holes in the granite steps or in their excitement sling their pennies through the plate-glass doors, may have been the difficulty. It was also feared that the strong men of 1921 might try coercive methods in persuading the tight-fisted yearlings to "come across...
...Goode '22 and H. S. Russell '22 have shown themselves reliable pitchers, and A. B. Blair '21 has performed consistently behind the bat. Except in one inning in the game with Boston University, when they suffered from a fever of wild throwing, the infielders have played air-tight ball. A. J. Conlon '22 is easily the star of the inner circle, with many hard stops to his credit and no errors on the debit side. The outfield is fast and sure, and can be relied on for hits; F. W. Crocker '22, substituting for L. A. Hallock '22, has particularly...
...being trained to supply the team with a reliable left-handed pitcher. E. F. Goode '22 will start in the pitcher's box; Goode is the only "H" pitcher on the squad and his slow reliable ball can usually be counted upon to pull the team out of a tight place.

Crocker '22, and air-tight fielding on the part of the University nine were the features of the 11-0 victory of Coach Slattery's men over the second University team in a five-inning game yesterday afternoon on Soldiers Field. The scrubs proved easy prey for their heavy-hitting opponents, who scored four runs in the opening inning. E. L. Bigelowe '21 pitched for the University in place of E. F. Goode '22, whom Coach Slattery allowed to rest on account of his work against Northeastern...
...Blair '21, an "H" man with an especially strong and certain throw to second will catch, J. E. Murphy '22 substituting. Goode substituted for W. B. Felton '20 last year and although not remarkable for this speed or curves, is steady, has excellent control, and shows good. headwork in tight places, E. S. Hobbs ocC and B. S. and Russell '22, who have been displaying excellent form in the practice contests to date, will probably relieve Goode as the game progresses...
